    interference‚ which lead to nodes and antinodes in the wave.The nodes could be marked because they were silent‚ and the antinodes were loud. Hypothesis We expect to find a linear relationship between wavelength and period because the speed of sound is constant. The frequency will inversely change the wavelength‚ leading to a constant velocity. Methods The speaker at the top was set to various frequencies and water gradually filled into the resonance tube. The nodes were observed by the class auditorily

    of light‚ travels in wavelengths and is measured in nanometres (nm). Pigments within matter‚ such as plants‚ absorb varying wavelengths of light. The absorption spectrum can be defined as a graphical representation of a pigment’s ability to absorb light against varying wavelengths (nm). The pigments light absorbing ability is measured using a spectrophotometer. An action spectrum can be defined as the graphical representation of the rate of photosynthesis against wavelengths of light. The graph shows

    of transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which its particles vibrate parallel to their direction of propagation. Sound waves‚ earthquake waves and tsunami waves are examples of longitudinal waves. Some terms to be considered are: Wavelength: the distance between two successive identical points Frequency: number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a second Amplitude: maximum displacement that particles can move to and from their equilibrium position Crest: Highest points

    compared to clear dry days. Why do we have Blue Sky? The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere‚ most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red‚ orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However‚ much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look‚ some

    spring constant x is the displacement In this lab‚ we would have to know about the Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). T is the period m is the mass k is the spring constant The characteristics of a wave are wavelength‚ amplitude‚ period and frequency. Wavelength is the length of the repeating wave shape. Amplitude is the maximum displacement or the greatest distance from the equilibrium point. Period is the time‚ in seconds‚ required to complete one cycle‚ and frequency is the number

    Standing wave Standing waves in a string — the fundamental mode and the first 6 overtones. A standing wave‚ also known as a stationary wave‚ is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave‚ or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. In the second case‚ for waves of equal amplitude travelling in opposing directions‚ there is on
